Jon Beason will miss the season

They learned the worst this afternoon. Beason will miss the season with a torn Achilles, coach Ron Rivera confirmed Monday via the Charlotte Observer.

You only have to look at Beason’s contract to see his importance to the team. The team gave him a $20 million signing bonus last month on a $51.3 million, six-year contract.

Beason had Achilles soreness throughout the offseason and seemed to rush back on to the field Sunday. Carolina has to be thinking twice about letting Beason play, no matter how hard he pushed for it.

Dan Connor will take over for Beason. Carolina’s entire defense will take a hit, especially on passing downs. Beason was arguably the second best young inside linebacker in football behind Patrick Willis.

I’m a big Saints fan and as much as I hate Carolina, I’m a fan of Beason. Sucks that it happened because from everything I’ve heard, he’s a good guy who works hard and basically took a leadership role as a rookie. Hopefully he recovers fully.

The coaches did not rush him back. You do not know what you’re talking about. Jon played because he wanted to play. Period. He is a warrior and wanted to be out there. And the two injuries are not even related other than the fact it was the same leg.

What is an LOL is that joke of a game the steelers displayed BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA harrison was puffin an air tank on the sideline and hines ward is still lookin for his teeth after he was sent feet strait in the air….your clearly a classless individual….come back strong next yr beason

Beason will be missed. Connor is a good back up but can’t cover like him. Beason was only 94 on the list because of our terrible season and he played out of position filling in for Thomas Davis. If anybody can make it back form that kind of injury it is BEAST.
